Learn how ERP turns overweight, inefficient manufacturing into a lean, fit and supercharged manufacturing machine. Manufacturing is a complex process, no matter what products you make or what processes you use. ERP simplifies manufacturing by providing real-time data visibility at every step of the production process.

TSN is the future of industrial Ethernet and an enabling technology to support connected industries. To tap into this new market, vendors of automation devices and machines should start to offer key TSN-compatible options now. Selecting the right development path is key to ensuring success.

Competition and cost pressures combined with Industry 4.0 have made device health status, operations analytics and predictive maintenance via the device, edge and cloud more important than ever. The process industries are poised for a major shift, with Ethernet connecting directly to field devices via Ethernet-APL.

Ethernet cables have to cope with a lot when used in industrial robots. However, common Ethernet cables have usually been unable to cope with the challenge of horizontal linear movements combined with torsion. A new ETHERLINE ROBOT PN Cat.5e now complies with the type R standard for PROFINET cables on…

An oil & gas OEM uses integrated data and control to deliver reliable automated pressure testing. Integration on a single backplane has been the key to dramatically lowering cost, improving uptime, accessing data and expanding utilization.

Industrial connectors and cables are in a period of rapid innovation. Along with the emergence of Single Pair Ethernet, this new environment is creating higher demands on products is producing solutions that are offering higher data rates, increased levels of protection and options for miniaturization.

A coalition of industrial companies is working toward a single vision, and backing Single Pair Ethernet and the T1 interface with the goal of making SPE technology the infrastructure basis that will make the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 possible.

New innovations in hybrid connectors expand the power transmission capabilities beyond what today’s SPE connectors can achieve using PoDL.

Single Pair Ethernet is more than just new connectors. SPE has become the connector standard for the network infrastructure of digital transformation.

With ever increasing performance and a rising number of supported end devices, Power over Ethernet (PoE) – for the simultaneous supply of industrial end devices with data and power – is becoming a versatile all-rounder in the digital factory. With various components feeding and utilizing PoE, Siemens offers a comprehensive…
